Withdrawal

Well all the hype is done now, two weeks and lots of chatter has come and gone with one game. It was the ultimate game and the Pats lost to the Giants AGAIN! I think it is almost mind boggling how they have lost to the G-men in the same fashion in every game they've played the last 4 years. AHHH... I was pretty confident leading up to the game but I knew the G-men were a bad match up. I wanted the Niners, oh well. The game has come and gone and I'm just about over it and doing well. Now its 7 months with out any live football game. Hockey anyone?

As an avid fan of the NFL and specifically the Patriots it hurts when they lose. I know intellectually they can't win them all, but man did they have to lose to the Giants?? But thinking back to 2008 when they lost to them the first time, I am doing 1000 times better. I like to to say when friends ask how I'm doing (and thanks everyone for checking up on me even if you dislike the Pats) I'm disappointed but not devastated. Thinking back to 2008 I was completely crushed. It was like going through a bad break up. I had nightmares that it was not real, I could not eat, I could not sleep, I literally had to stay away from TV, radio and internet. This game not so. I did stay away from ESPN and other sports related media for the last week but it was not a complete black out like the last time. 

Again they chose the wrong game to have their worst game of the season. There was just a general lack of execution! Oh well I'm going to turn the page. Now I'm looking  ahead like I'm sure a lot of Patriots Nation. Free agency and the draft are the big things on the calendar. The wish list from this fan is that the Pat's resign Welker, get another wide receiver and get safety help for the secondary.

Well that's it, let me know what you all want to know about in relation to my avid fandom of Boston sport teams. I always have an opinion.

Yo Soy Fiesta Superbowl

Well my Pat's are playing in the Superbowl tomorrow and I am excited! But I wanted to take a little time to give all my girls out there a few tips if going to a Superbowl party and you want to sound knowledgeable and interested. You don't want your friends and significant others to think you are just watching for men in tight pants and the commercials. The commercials should be fun though!

Here are five things to know and or mention during today's parties!

1. Rob Gronkowski is the Patriots all world tight end , he blocks and catches passes and he got injured in the AFC championship game. Its been the big story of Superbowl week , at some point just before the game starts you can throw out "I wonder how effective Gronk will be with that ankle injury?"

2. The Giants have a great defensive line, these are the guy that "Rush the Passer". You could throw out at some point as the game starts "I wonder if the Pats offensive line can protect Brady?" (Offensive linemen are the big guys who block for the QB)

3. One of the big stories for the Pats this year was the non factor that wide receiver Chad OchoCinco has become. You could ask "I wonder if Ocho gets a catch tonight better yet can he get a score?"

4. A nugget that you could mention is that the Pats ranked third in turn over differential, you can say "I hope the the Pats can get a turnover to get a defensive score.

5. If all else fails just cheer when the Pats score!

OK Friends enjoy the game, even if you are not a Pat's fan or Giants fan it should still be a great game.

 A few last things ,Superbowl 46 is a rematch of Superbowl 42, blah.. # 11 Julian Edelman plays offense and Defense (he sometimes gets mistaken for Welker). Vince Wilfork is the Pats best defensive line man and hopefully he has a good game.

Finally, Yo Soy Fiesta was a quote from Gronk after winning he AFC championship game and has taken on a life of its own. Check out this link  from T & R in Boston and "play audio."http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/01/24/toucher-rich-party-gronk-yo-soy-fiesta/
